Salute the Victor

The Handley Page Victor, stalwart of the airborne refueling role in the RAF, is an unsung hero. The immense Victor effort needed to place a lone Vulcan over the Falklands for the Black Buck raids has never been fully appreciated. We present a graphic computer simulation.

The Victor went on to outlive its delta-winged contemporary by nearly 10 years and we join Tornado and Victor sorties in its last few months of service to see the task at first hand. We fly with the aircraft to its last airshow and capture the sights, sounds and emotions around RAF Marham as the aircraft approaches retirement. We are particularly proud to place on record the last ever flight by a V-Bomber, for preservation at the Aerospace Museum at Cosford.
